FIRST MEETING
We meet with you at your home, walk the property and discuss
what you like (and what you don't), as well as your goals. We
absorb your style from various cues, like your interior
decorating, and ask a lot of questions. From this meeting, we get
a really good idea of what you're trying to accomplish. Once we
agree on the scope of the project, we get to work.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR SITE
We accurately measure your site, taking detailed inventory -
even including such elements as water spiggots and electrical
outlets (this stuff is actually important) - and take plenty of
photos. From this, we develop a comprehensive base drawing of
your property which we use to sketch out design concepts.
THE DESIGN
Typically, several sketch concepts are explored before we arrive
at a design that incorporates your goals and aspirations with
sound architectural and horticultural knowledge. We typically
revisit the space to ensure the plan reflects every consideration.
Whether we're creating a master plan or a small, detailed area,
we want to make certain that whatever we do positively affects
the entire property, not just the piece we are working on.
PRESENTATION
In our second meeting, we come back and present the plan with
a proposal for its installation. We have photos of all the plants
and any hardscaping as well as a scale drawing.
BUILDING IT
Once the final design is completed by us and approved by you,
the fun begins. We work out a construction schedule that will
have the least possible intrusion on your day-to-day, and gets the
job done as quickly as possible (depending on weather,
of course).
We're done! Enjoy - invite your family, friends, neighbors. And if you need regular landscape maintenance, we can do that too.
